Roof rack recommendations for a 110

[EastFreo]

Hi all

I am looking for recommendations for an easy-to-remove and put-back-on set of roof racks.

Ideally I am also after the lowest profile option available as well.

I will need the racks to help me transport a racing ski down to the river for a paddle but during the week I need to get into a work car park that I will literally only just squeeze into without racks!

It's not exactly urgent. I've ordered a new 110 and will hopefully be getting it in September.

Appreciate any recommendations.

Cheers

James

I have a wind cheater from dolium.....nice and low and manageable by yourself. Stay away from the steel racks.

Another vote for the frontrunner. I got mine from Mulgo. I don't take it off but I put it on myself with some careful lifting and use of a towel to protect the roof. Mines a 1.6 metres

Another vote for the Front Runner as a good low profile option.

X3 for the Front Runner. Very happy with it. I've got the 2.8 metre. Much lighter than the old steel tradesman rack. I needed something to transport a kayak and get into the car park at work. I can get under 2.1 metres without anything on the roof. But it's close!

Cheers.

Patriot available from LandyBitz on site forum. It's the newest and trickiest thing available.

Check out the pics they are the bomb.

There'd be nothing wrong with a set of Rhino Heavy Duty bars for what you've described. Very happy with mine and very easy to fit and remove on your own.

I saw the front runner and thought it looked good.

Also the car park at work is 2.1m so it is looking like a very good option!

I'd go Rhino bars too. Very easy to fit by one person, and to make it extra quick I cut the allen key thing up and mount it in a battery drill.
You could have a pair of rhino bars for so much less than any other rack new and there are a great many attachments for them to suit bikes, skis, kayaks etc

I haven't had much experience with the Rhino racks on Defenders but I have a set on my Outback. Mostly ok but all of the plastic bits are suffering from noticeable UV damage having been left on the car for two years.

It sounds like you only need a set of roof bars, if you're only going to put the racing ski up there. Can't help you there, but if you're looking for an actual roof rack, I'll recommend the Dolium Wind Cheetah/Front Runner as well. Light and strong enough to get up and walk around on.

Hannibal 2.8m has served me well. Its 2.06m (from memory) from floor to top surface with side rails detached.

If your defender is coming September i would order a rack now - the Hannibal comes from south africa and took 16 weeks to come. I got mine from Landybitz.

If you need to get into any specific car parks in town then PM me and i'll see if i've managed it in mine! :p

if you want the dogs danglies, go see Juddy @ Landybitz. He'll sort you out with a nice Patriot.
